Description

This 1857 volume of the Annales de chimie et de physique prints, on pages 147 to 231 with two folding plates, the memoir on the optical study of vibrations by Jules Antoine Lissajous, professor of physics at the Lycée Saint-Louis. In it, mirrors on two tuning forks vibrating at right angles reflect a beam of light onto a screen, tracing the curves now called Lissajous figures, which an oscilloscope draws from two signals.
